ARC Review: Writing Gatsby

Genre: Nonfiction Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ After reading William Elliott Hazelgrove’s books about the Titanic and Cassie Chadwick, I was so excited to see he was publishing a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald and The Great Gatsby! The book was certainly enjoyable, but didn’t necessarily live up to the other two I’ve read by Hazelgrove. I absolutelyContinue reading “ARC Review: Writing Gatsby”

Book Review: Furyborn

Genre: Fantasy Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ I have seen Furyborn by Claire Legrand mentioned by so many readers. I read Sawkill Girls by the same author, and it was also a three star read for me.

Book Review: Serendipity

Genre: YA Romance, Short Stories Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ I would read absolutely anything with Marissa Meyer’s name on it, so when I saw that she was editing a collection of short stories, I was stoked!

Book Review: These Violent Delights

Genre: Historical Fantasy, YA Fantasy Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ After hearing a lot of hype about These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong, I finally decided to read it myself.

Book Review: Sawkill Girls

Genre: Horror, Fantasy, LGBTQIA+, YA Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand was yet another book I was avoiding since I’ve seen so much hype about it, but when The Novel Neighbor recommended it to me, I finally decided to pick it up. Overall, this book was certainly unexpected and had a good balance ofContinue reading “Book Review: Sawkill Girls”
